Juniperus chinensis 'Shimpaku Kishu'

Juniperus chinensis 'Shimpaku Kishu'

from 30.00

Shimpaku juniper grow in the mountains of Japan and China. Varieties Itoigawa and Kishu are two natural strains of shimpaku that are used extensively for bonsai and niwaki. I have grown, trained and propagated the Kishu shimpaku for over thirty years. It is an exceptional juniper for aesthetic applications. My very first plants of Kishu came from Mr. Ishii of Chikugo-en in Gardena, CA. The foliage is dark green, soft and dense. The cinnamon bark is flaky on the surface and smooth underneath. Truly a worthy subject for the creation of bonsai and niwaki.
